Figure 3 Comparison of Bcl2 (A, C) and caspase-3 (B, C) IRS values between the KD (n=12) and control groups (n=12). Comparison of Bcl2 (A) and caspase-3 (B) IRS values in the KD group and control groups. Cytoplasmic staining of Bcl2 in CASMCs was mild in mice of the KD group but was strong or moderate in mice of the control group (A). Cytoplasmic staining for caspase-3 in CASMCs was strong and moderate in mice of the KD group but mild or absent in mice of the control group (B). The IRS values for Bcl2 and caspase-3 were significantly different between the KD group and the control group (C).
